The Minx

The Minx is a 2007 movie written and directed by Chicago-based independent filmmaker Michael Glover Smith. It is not to be confused with the 1969 film by the same title. The Minx was written in collaboration with Vincent Francone and shot on location in Chicago and Hong Kong in late 2005 and early 2006. It was picked up for distribution by Echelon Entertainment of Glendale, California and was released on DVD in the United States on May 15, 2007. The film's world premiere, held at Schuba's Tavern in Chicago, was a "Recommended" screening by Cine-File, Chicago's guide to independent and alternative cinema.

Plot

The Minx is by turns an action/thriller and a comedy. The film's plot details the adventures of Linnea Chiang, a mild-mannered tobacconist by day and a masked master thief by night; like some modern day Robin Hood, the black vinyl-clad "Minx" robs large corporations and gives the money away to homeless people on the streets of Chicago. Over the course of the film's plot turns, Linnea develops relationships with two very different men: Joseph Van Zwick, the ruthless CEO of the corrupt "World Energy" company, and Edgar Alvarez, an idealistic young reporter for "The Windy City Weekly," Chicago's leading alternative newspaper. In an ironic twist, Edgar is assigned to write a story on the Minx, never dreaming that Linnea, the woman he has become romantically involved with, could be her alter-ego. As both of these men, as well as Chief Inspector Chiapetti of the Chicago police, begin to close in on the Minx's true identity, Linnea is forced to make a decision about her future that will affect the lives of everyone involved.
